CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application filed December 12, 1923. Serial No. 680,087.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, BRUNO LUNA, a citizen ofthe Republic of Mexico, residing at Rosebud, inthe county of Falls and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders, of which the following is a specification.

rihis invention relates generally to smokers accessories, having particular reference to a holder for individual cigars or cigarettes, adapted to contain the same while being smoked, and which permits of them being safely carried in the pocket in a lighted condition.

rlhe invention has for an object to provide a novel cigar and cigarette holder of this type, characterized by simplicity of construction and by complete removal of danger of the cigar or cigarette settingiire to the pocket if inserted in the latter in a. lighted condition, while at the same time it permits of the cigar or cigarette being smoked withoutr the need. of removal from its enclosing chamber.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the 'objects and advantages thereof, reference will be hadto the following description and accompanying drawings,

and to the appended claims in which the construction of the holder which is the same various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the' drawings is a perspective view showing the inventlon as embodied in a cigarette holder.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof.l v Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the cup in which the end of the cigarette or cigar engages. y

Fig. 4 is a side elevation showing the holder as having its barrel made up of a number of sections whereby its length may be increased, the various sections being shown as separated from one another.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view showing a means for preventing passage of air around the cigar or cigarettel in the holder.

Fig. 6 is a'transverse sectional vie/w thereof taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.

Referrin now to the embodiment of the invention s ,own in Figs. 1 to 3,my improved holder comprises a main body in the form lof a tube or barrel 10 which is of suitable interior diameter to have the article to be smokedit fairly snugly therein. This barrel is circumferentiallyrecessed at its forward end to frictionally receive a cap 11 in the end of which are holes 12. -At its rear thereto a stem or mouth-piece 19 which fits over the lower end of the cup and is interiorly screw threaded at its forwardend to engage the threads 18. The forward end of this mouth-piece may be exteriorly knurled as at 20 to facilitate turning. `Over the rear portion of the mouth-piece a tubular casing 21 is fitted and serves to prevent the mouth-piece from contact with exterior objects, this casing fitting frictionally `over the mouth-piece 19 just to the rear of the knurled member 20 thereon.4 The cap 11 may have a clip 23 thereon whereby the holder may be secured to the lip of the pocket in which it'is being carried.

in Fig. 4; I have indicated a lengthened as that shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 except that the barrel is made up of a number of sections 10 adapted to t one into the end of the other so'that the device may be varied in length to suit requirements by varying the number of sections employed.

lin Figs, 5 and 6 I have shown a further development of the invention whose purpose is to ensure of'a snug iit of the cigarette in the cup 14 and thereby ensure of the airpassing through the cigarette and not along the sides thereof. y ln this construction the cup 14 is provided with four of' the slots 17 and has a frusto-conical flange element v 30 on its upper end which is adapted to be engaged by a complementary ring 31 slidable in the barrel 10 so as to compress the lip of the lcup against (the cigarette. The ring 31 has a pair of rpins 32 projectin'g oppositely therefrom through short 4longitudinal slots 33 in the barrel and adapt.- ed to be engaged to press the ring downwardly over the cup. In this construction the cup has a circumferential Harige 345 formed thereon near its lower end which abuts against the end of the barrel, while the mouth-piece 19 is screwed on the said end of the barrel and clamps the cup in position.

It is believed that the manner of use of my im roved device will be readily understood om the above description, the cap 11 being removed and the cigarette placed in the barrel 10 and lighted, the member 21 being first removed from the mouth-piece 19. The cap 11 is then replaced and the cigarette smoked in the usual manner, and, as will be apparent, it may beplaced in the pocketv in a lighted condition without any daplger of setting tire to t-he latter.

aving thus described my inventlon what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: y

1'.'A :holder of the type specilied comprising a barrel, an apertured cap fitti removably thereon at one end, an aperture l cup'tting removably in the other end of removably thereon at one end, an apertured v cup fitting removably in the other end of the barrel, and a mouth-piece fitting removably on said cup, and means fo'r contracting the mouth of saidcup.

3. A holder of the type specified comprising a barrel, an apertured cap fitting removably thereon at one end, an apertured cup littmg removably in the other end of the in a barrel, an apertured cap tting removab y thereon at one end, an apertured cup fittmg removably in the other end of the barrel, and a mouth-piece fitting removably on said cup, and means for contracting thel mouth of said cup, said means comprislng a ring slidable in the barrel and adapted to engage the rim of said cup, said cup being longitudinally slotted from said rim inward, said ring and the cup rim having complementary engaging frusto-conical faces.

5. A holder of the type specified comprisin a barrel, an apertured cap v:[itting removab y thereon at one end, an apertured cup ittlng removably inthe other end of the barrel, and a mouth-piece fitting removably on said cup, and means for contracting the mouth of 'said cup, said means comprising a ring slidable in the barrel and adapted to enongitudinally slotted from said rim inward,

and studs on said ring projecting through longitudinal slots in the barrel for adjustment of the ring.

lgage the rim of said cup, said cup being In testimony whereof l'havel aiiixed my signature.
